About this handbook

Fostering involves the whole family. This handbook is written for the sons and daughters of people thinking about fostering, and for their parents to read too. It answers the questions children often ask: what fostering is, what will change at home, how to handle things that annoy them, what to do if a fostered child tells them a secret, and who they can talk to.

What it covers

  • What fostering means, in plain words
  • Sharing your home, your things and your parents
  • Rule changes and why they happen
  • School, friends and what to say
  • Secrets, and who you can talk to
  • Saying goodbye when children move on

Coming soon

We are doing our final checks on this handbook before it goes online. It will be here soon. In the meantime, Rachael or Gareth are happy to answer any questions about this topic.
